“For Kakkanad extension, there is a need to acquire 6.97 acres and the process will cost approximate Rs.93.50 crore. There is also a need to acquire 8.55 acres to execute preparatory work on this route,” said KMRL spokesperson.

KMRL had engaged Rail India Technical and Economic Services to prepare technical feasibility study and detailed project report for various Metro corridors in July 2013 and they submitted the DPR for JLN stadium to Infopark under Phase-II to KMRL in February 2015.

As per the revised DPR, Kochi Metro’s ridership is expected to touch 1.04 lakh by 2023. Apart from the employees at Infopark, the Metro is expected to serve those working at Ernakulam collectorate and several other state and centre government establishments at Kakkanad. Moreover, it will also improve the transportation facilities offered to public.

Meanwhile, KMRL said that the social impact assessment study for extending the project to Kakkanad will be completed next month.

The extension of Kochi Metro to Kakkanad is expected to bring down the travel time from city. As connectivity improves, it is expected to reduce traffic congestion in the city. Widening of the Palarivattom - Kakkanad stretch of the road as part of preparatory works will also help in improving transportation.

Twenty22

Twenty22 stands for the year 2022 when India will be 75 years old.The story of a young and energetic nation on the move,having her foundation in an ancient civilisation.From a glorious past to a glorious future.Our flag's Orange colour symbolizes courage and sacrifice, White stands for peace and truth, Green is for faith and chivalry and Blue represents the color of the sky and the ocean. The central motif is a Chakra, or Buddhist spinning wheel. The 24 spokes of the wheel correspond with the 24 hours of the day, implying that there is life in movement and death in stagnation.

A Scrapbook chronicling the magic of the present moment as the Winds of Change sweeps across INDIA,BHARAT,HINDUSTAN-The World's Largest Democracy.The Making of India which hopefully will have heartwarming stories of growth and development... on the lines of Chicken Soup for the Soul..ooops..err Rasam for the Hindustani Aatma. Jai Hind.
